Axial flow fan and air-conditioning apparatus including the same

An axial flow fan comprising:

• a plurality of blades, each of the blades including
• a leading edge formed in front in a direction of rotation of the axial flow fan,
• an inner circumferential edge formed at an inner circumference of the blades, and
• an outer circumferential edge formed at an outer circumference of the blades, the outer circumferential edge being located at downstream in a flow direction of a fluid, forced to move by the axial flow fan, than the inner circumferential edge,
• the blade being reflexed toward upstream of the fluid at a portion adjacent to the outer circumferential edge, and having a local angle-decrease section having a blade inlet angle at the leading edge decreasing from neighborhood, the local angle-decrease section being formed at a side of the leading edge and being located closer to the outer circumferential edge than to the inner circumferential edge,
• the local angle-decrease section having, at a leading edge of the local angle-decrease section, a minimum point at which the blade inlet angle is a minimum,
• the local angle-decrease section having an intermediate point located at an intermediate position between both ends of the local angle-decrease section,
• the minimum point being formed closer to a rotation axis than the intermediate point.
